40-something single dad of four, bloody happy with life.
Yep! I don’t even sew and I think it looks great.

Only if I get it right! Never done anything like this before and I’m terrified I’ll mess it up.

Made progress. The newer varnish (from 1982 according to the woman it was bought from) has come off nicely, but the older stuff on the legs is much tougher.

The machine itself is coming up sparkling, though.

Schoolboy error.

I'm only wary of my children Whamssassinating me.

Harsh! And, in its own way, impressive.

I'm hoping to go one better than the Christmas Eve I made it to, before popping out to get some snacks that I didn't even need and getting Whammed in Sainsbury's.

I’ll make it so.

You mean there’s an alternative to green sleeves?!

You're telling me you wouldn't be fascinated to see Kermit and Miss Piggy slogging it out, with Tiny Tim caught in the middle?!

Cinematic GOLD, right there.

Nooooooo!!!!!! Definitely worth making a road trip to find one!

I assume she'd be Westley, of course? Or Inigo Montoya?

Get yourself to Aldi quickly - they're in the magical middle aisle.

Just be careful, or you might have to replace your pans...

Yeah, I just changed a little bit of Cloudflare core settings and my platform worked fine.

I can't imagine that change had any knock on effects for anyone else...

(Honestly wish I'd thought of that line when I was on the dating apps as it would've sorted the nerds from the plebs)

Same! My brother got me two for my birthday and they make me smile whenever I see them!

That movie is the sole reason Furries exist.

I said what I said.
